Et courir le monde,
Joe, tu t'en vas, mais cette fois, attends-moi,
Attends-moi, je veux partir avec toi
Et courir le monde,
Attends-moi, je vais tout laisser tomber,
Je m'en vais,
J'ai besoin de soleil et de liberté,
Allez, Joe, emmène-moi,
Depuis longtemps déjà, je n'attends que ça,
Ne me laisse pas,
Joe, emmène-moi,
J'ai besoin de soleil et de liberté,
Allez, Joe, emmène-moi,
Je n'attends que ça,
Joe, ne me laisse pas!
Joe, je sais, ça fait du chemin
De courir le monde,
Mais Joe, ici je vis à l'étroit, comprends-moi,
Comprends-moi, ce qu'il me faut maintenant,
C'est courir le monde,
Et crois-moi, je n'ai pas peur de marcher,
Je suis prêt,
Allez, Joe, emmène-moi,
J'ai besoin de soleil et de liberté,
Allez Joe, emmène-moi,
Depuis longtemps déjà, je n'attends que ça,
Ne me laisse pas,
Joe, emmène-moi,
J'ai besoin de soleil et de liberté,
Allez, Joe, emmène-moi,
Depuis longtemps déjà, je n'attends que ça,
Joe, ne me laisse pas!
Allez Joe, emmène-moi,
J'ai besoin de soleil et de liberté,
Allez Joe, emmène-moi,
Depuis longtemps déjà je n'attends que ça,
Ne me laisse pas!
Joe, emmène-moi...
